Psystar, makers of the OpenMac (now hastily renamed "Open Computer"), plans to fight Apple for the right to preinstall OS X Leopard on its 3rd party hackintosh. Apple's End User License Agreement expressly forbids installing the operating system on anything other than Apple hardware.

A spokesman for Psystar, named Robert (no surname given), told Information Week that his company believes Apple is committing some imagined anti-trust offense and violating US monopoly laws.
